Case against Asaram's spokesperson in Amritsar

A case was registered in Amritsar Wednesday against a spokesperson of spiritual guru Asaram Bapu on charges of hurting religious sentiments of a community, police said.

Police officials said that spokesperson Neelam Dubey was booked for hurting religious sentiments and promoting enmity between groups based on religion following a complaint made against her by officials of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).

In the complaint, the SGPC officials objected to utterances made by Dubey against Guru Nanak Dev on a news channel show. They said the remarks by Dubey were derogatory to the gurus and hurt religious sentiments of the Sikh community.
